Re: Group and user security policies in Vista Home Premium

Hello,

I can confirm that these features are not available in Home editions
of Windows Vista.

Also, I think the following command will prevent your passwords from
expiring.

- Open an elevated command prompt (right-click, run as administrator)
- Type: net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
